        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Denpasar to Labuan Bajo?",
        "answer": "A direct flight from Denpasar (DPS) to Labuan Bajo (LBJ) typically takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes. There are no common layover flights on this short domestic route, as direct service is standard. The return flight is similar in duration."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Denpasar to Labuan Bajo?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct flights from Denpasar (DPS) to Labuan Bajo (LBJ) on two airlines: Indonesia AirAsia (QZ) and Batik Air (ID), both operating daily. Indonesia AirAsia runs about 27 flights per week with departures at various times throughout the day, while Batik Air offers around 21 weekly flights, so nonstop service is frequent and available every day.",
        "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Labuan Bajo?",
        "answer": "Labuan Bajo’s Komodo Airport (LBJ) is small and located just a few kilometers from the town center, so ground transportation is straightforward. Taxis are the primary option, with a fixed-rate system from the airport booth to your hotel or the harbor, typically costing around 50,000 to 100,000 Indonesian Rupiah and taking five to ten minutes. Ride-share apps like Grab and Gojek operate in the area but are sometimes restricted from picking up directly at the terminal, so you may need to walk a short distance outside the airport grounds to catch one. There is no mass transit system. Car and scooter rentals are available from local agencies in town, and some hotels offer pickup services. Most visitors use taxis for convenience and reliability upon arrival."
